"…measure that would allow the new parents to designate a colleague to vote for them for 12 weeks after they or their spouse welcome a new child."

For some reason I read this as a spouse welcome a new child without the Congress person. (as in born of someone else)

Let’s just hope it doesn’t go both ways. I’d hate to see him start beating people at work in a drunken stupor.

If it calls itself a department of the government… Isn’t that all the proof needed?

If the puppet master says so…

Someone needs to take a good straight-on shot of it to upload to the Internet before it disappears.

Gyup gyup!

I don’t understand, you mean Elmo isn’t president?

Ahh, this coming from a guy with the spine of a jellyfish.

Trump giving the economy the shocker is shocking, and we’re 6% through his 4 year “term.” Things couldn’t get worse, could they?

I’m not sure why we’re name calling (that’s what bullies do, right?) but I was definitely the receiver of the bullying growing up and have never bullied others.

I think the sign is fine and when I see signs that aren’t inclusive of me, I’m fine with that too. If my kids see something that they are uncomfortable with, I’ll talk to them about it. I’m not going to storm down to the principal and demand to know why someone dared to not include my child. Over-sheltering kids does them an injustice because they’re unprepared. That’s the point I was making, not some pro-bigot diatribe or whatever you’re describing.

We absolutely should be inclusive, and we should also prepare our children for an imperfect world. You can do both.

I understand uniformity and all, but there’s also a lot of over-sheltering going on. Part of being ready for the world is knowing things out there are rarely fair and most of us get offended at one point or another. You learn to brush it off and grow thicker skin, making you a stronger individual.

Dude, I was so confused because I really wondered if theyf had capitulated that far backwards. The money part though, I started sniffing something funny.

None of them want to blow up the economy. Trump knows that if he cooks the economy, he’s done. That’s what’s stopping him, nothing else. He’ll talk big, but when stocks fall, he’ll crumble. I think it’s only a matter of time before he cooks it for some other creative reason though. He’ll try to blame everyone else of course.

That being said, Canada/Mexico would never throw the first stone either though. They are just as beholden to the same stock market.

In the end, this is one of the only things I actually agree with the orange moron on. Globalization will continue killing our job market and the only way to reverse some of it is to make the playing field more level via tariffs. Shipping all of the manufacturing jobs abroad could only work if you had a highly educated workforce, but they’re trying to make us dumber too while replacing as much as possible with automation and AI. It has to break somewhere.

Especially not WrestleMania lady

Those are words of true leadership. I’m exceedingly inspired!

And the market crash will begin right around that time too. Yay!

Yea, that’s what out looks like ri me too. Hopefully they don’t get away with it.

Let’s not castigate an entire generation now, shall we? Broad generalizations are exactly where racism starts.

This is a great idea. Old people never vote.

In a word: The fall guy
